industrial electriciantoelectrical mechanic
A industrial electrician already meets 56% of what the electrical mechanic role asks for. The move turns on 12 required skills not yet in the profile.
56%
52.5/ 100
1 Share of the electrical mechanic role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the industrial electrician profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A electrical mechanic role treats 12 of its required skills as things a industrial electrician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- electricity
- electromechanics
- electronics
- inspect electrical supplies
- install electrical and electronic equipment
- maintain electrical equipment
What stands in the way is 12 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 30 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electrical mechanic role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a industrial electrician background worth leading with.
- already held order electrical supplies communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held install electricity sockets working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held make electrical calculations information skills
- already held apply coating to electrical equipment constructing
- already held install circuit breakers working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held install electric switches working with machinery and specialised equipment
All 30 carried skills, including the 12 the electrical mechanic role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 19 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held calibrate electromechanical system required
- required, not held fit mechanised equipment required
- required, not held maintain electromechanical equipment required
- optional, not held install automotive electrical equipment optional
- optional, not held maintain electrical engines optional
- optional, not held repair battery components optional
- required, not held electrical safety regulations required
- required, not held energy storage systems required
- required, not held mechanics required
- optional, not held battery components optional
- optional, not held soldering techniques optional
- required, not held comply with electrical safety regulations required
- required, not held apply safety management required
- required, not held wear appropriate protective gear required
- required, not held test electromechanical systems required
- optional, not held operate soldering equipment optional
- required, not held assemble electromechanical systems required
- optional, not held assemble mechatronic units optional
- required, not held solve technical problems required
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a electrical mechanic role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 comply with electrical safety regulations skill · occupation specific
- 02 electrical safety regulations knowledge · occupation specific
- 03 assemble electromechanical systems skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice
Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.
- required, not held electrical safety regulations required
- required, not held energy storage systems required
- required, not held mechanics required
- optional, not held battery components optional
- optional, not held soldering techniques optional
How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
